PC radio

hi all,
this is my first time coming here and the site looks great...I have a question...I'm looking for a PC radio similar to the d-link usb radio that went for around 20$. I can't find it in the states anymore...does anyone know where that unit or a similar one can be found...for a reasonable price? Also are there AM/FM pc radio units out there as well?

Firstly, Welcome to the forums,
secondly, Wrong thread! should be general hardware disscussion,
Thirdly, DSB-R100 now discontinued everywhere, you may find one on ebay now and then, or just ask here somebody may want to sell you theres

Do a search on the D-link, you will find many reviews, and some threads about simple modifications to improve the reception (ie. just adding a ground wire, or solid nice connection to your existing car antenna).

The Gemtek Radioman AM/FM is available for ~$20 and is radiator (FM only) compatible. It's the same hardware as the DLINK just RS232 instead of USB. If you need USB, then add a USB->RS232 converter for ~$10. Reception quality is as described above and elsewhere in these forums (i.e. not real great).
